OLD-AGE PENSIONS.
The Duke of Argyll has written as follows to a correspondent:—“ Sir, — I am in the same position as the commission. I have seen no plan that would not do more harm than good. In framing all laws we must think of the motives they will call into action ; the good ones they may encourage, the bad ones they will tend to stimulate. Can we doubt that the prospect of pensions not due to any self-exertion will tend to destroy thrift and foresight in the wage-earning classes ? —Yours obediently, Argyll— Machariocb, Campbeltown, Kintyre,’
